Great Impressions: Get Well Birds

Hi, friends!  I'm back today with another card using some of the NEWEST stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  This one is another "get well" card that uses our stamp of the month and a fun texture stamp from the newest release.  Come and see!

Here's my card~

Great Impressions products used:

H258 Get Well Watering Can

E96 Chicken Wire

I don't know how easily this card could be mailed because of the flowers, but it would be perfect for taking to a friend who is under the weather!  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and added just a touch of glitter to the flowers and the bird...breath?  I don't know what to call that! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  Hop over to the Great Impressions blog for more inspiration and come play along with our monthly challenge, too!  If you use stamps from Great Impressions, you'll be able to link up your creation in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Daydream Designs: Eggstra Special Card + Wednesday Wisdom

Hi again!  I am back with another creation using super cute digis from the Daydream Designs store to share with you today.  It's a card that would be PERFECT for that special someone who needs a little lift!  AND, it's punny--and I LOVE a good pun!  Take a peek...

Here's the card~

Daydream Design's products used:

Country Chicks (image)

Simply Eggstraordinary Sentiments (sentiment)

Poppies For You (paper)

Those cute little eggs are actually sequins that a dear friend bought for me at a garage sale.  I thought they went well!  I added a few washi tape anchors, too, just to add a bit of interest.  I really like the way the plaid and gingham play together, too!

Each of God's children (which is equal to every person who has lived, will live, or is currently living here on Earth) has worth.  I am a big believe that you CANNOT diminish your worth in God's eyes.  He does like some choices better than others, but I believe that there is nothing we can do to make God love us less.  His love is a perfect love.  To Him, each of us is "eggstraordinary"!

That's all for me today, friends!  I hope you go and grab these fabulous digi elements and take some time to browse the rest of the store!  HUGS and happy {digi} stamping to you!

Doodle Pantry: September Mini Release!

Hi, friends!  I'm here today with a quick card I made using some of the newest sets from Doodle Pantry!  We're having a mini release today, so check out the other DT gals' work, too!

I started this card by printing out the squirrel, basket of nuts, and punny sentiment from the Just Nutty set.  These images are SO fun and they work for a variety of seasons--this is definitely a set you want to check out!  I added a bit of glossy accents to the squirrels eyes and some glitter on the flower center and bow on the nut basket for a bit of added texture.

I also added some texture around the sentiment with some liquid pearls.  I just LOVE a punny sentiment, and the Just Nutty set is full of them!  If you're a bit punny, like me, you have got to grab this set if only for the sentiments! 

Theses elements were then all layered onto a card base comprising of patterend paper, a doily, and some grosgrain ribbon. Voila!  The final project once more, all finished!

Thanks for stopping by today to take a peek at my card!  I hope you come and join in our current monthly challenge over on the Doodle Pantry blog and that you grab some of the newest items for sale in the store!  HUGS and happy {digi} stamping!
